Yet another senseless death after a man running naked in the street died after Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies shocked him with a taser.
Watch the Associated Press (AP) Video:
The Star just posted about the RCMP announcement just this past week that “…police officers who use them (Tasers) on agitated or delirious people expose them to “the risk of death.” That blunt admission from Royal Canadian Mounted Police Commissioner William Elliott to Parliament’s public safety committee…”
“…So RCMP officers may now lawfully use the guns only “where it is necessary to do so in circumstances of threats to officer or public safety,” Elliott said. They shouldn’t be routinely hauled out to incapacitate obnoxious, resistant or erratic people…”
That of course was after several deaths in Canada from the use of tasers.
Will the numerous deaths in the USA force law enforcement there to review their taser use policy, or will the taser deaths continue on needlessly?
